Naruto: System Jinchuriki, Give Me Some Points!

Because of this short interlude, the two suddenly fell silent, each lowering their heads to eat.

Naruto glanced at Hinata out of the corner of his eye.

Whether eating or drinking, Hinata maintained the demeanor of a Hyuga Clan young lady, graceful and dignified, eating small bites with chopsticks, chewing meticulously, without making a sound.

Moreover, Naruto also noticed that although Hinata ate in small bites, her speed did not seem slow.

In a short while, over half of the white rice in the bento box was gone.

Naruto blinked; in a moment of inattention, the golden chicken cutlet he had given Hinata already had a semicircular bite taken out of it.

"Is it that amazing?"

Naruto experimentally turned his head and then turned back, only to see that only a small piece of the crispy, fragrant chicken cutlet in the bento box remained, as if more than half had vanished into thin air.

Hyuga Hinata noticed Naruto's gaze, her face flushed crimson, so shy she looked like she was about to drip water.

"Wh-why are you looking at me like that?"

She asked softly.

Naruto didn't know how Hinata managed it, and with a touch of heartache, he scooped her a spoonful of beef stew with tomatoes.

"Eat slowly, no one's going to snatch it from you."

"Try Auntie Rhein's cooking; she's not as good at stir-frying as I am, but her stews are excellent."

"Mm!"

"Um…"

Hyuga Hinata nodded, her large eyes nervously and cautiously peeking at Naruto, and she asked softly, "Naruto, are you not angry anymore?"

"Angry? Why would I be angry?"

Naruto tilted his head back, took a sip of fresh milk, and looked at her in confusion.

"It's just… earlier…"

Hyuga Hinata habitually poked her two index fingers together.

"Oh!"

Naruto understood, a smile playing on his lips, and he teased, "Do you know why I covered your mouth and didn't let you continue talking?"

Hyuga Hinata shook her head.

"Because I would fall in love with you."

"???"

"!!!"

At this moment, Hyuga Hinata seemed to lose her ability to speak, her adorable face turned beet red, and then with a "poof," the Chakra in her body seemed to turn into mist, erupting from her head.

Hyuga Hinata's eyes showed a Uzumaki pattern, and she held the bento box in her hands, her whole body swaying from side to side, as if she was about to faint.

Naruto looked up at the azure sky and spoke his heartfelt thoughts: "Think about it, everyone around me ignores me, excludes me, disregards me, and is indifferent to me, but there's someone who secretly supports you, silently cheers for you, treats you as a role model, as a hero—wouldn't you be moved?"

Hyuga Hinata closed her eyes, gathering her courage, and said, "Um… then I won't say it anymore."

Naruto laughed heartily and retorted, "What? You don't want me to fall in love with you?"

"N-no—not—"

Hyuga Hinata quickly opened her eyes, shaking her head repeatedly, her flustered and helpless appearance exceptionally cute.

"Hahahahaha!"

"Just teasing you."

"Alright, hurry up and eat."

"After dinner, there's still fruit and bread."

"When you're with me, you're not allowed to go hungry!"

To prevent Hyuga Hinata from feeling shy and embarrassed, Naruto also opened up his appetite and ate heartily.

Because of this, Hyuga Hinata gradually relaxed her appetite and ate happily.

Unbeknownst to them, all the bread Naruto had prepared to store in the Underground City was eaten.

He deliberately glanced at Hyuga Hinata's stomach, but because of her loose jacket, he couldn't tell if it was bloated.

Hyuga Hinata lowered her head and asked softly, blushing, "Did I… eat too much…?"

"No."

Naruto asked curiously, "Are you full?"

Hyuga Hinata nodded obediently, showing a satisfied smile: "Mm, I'm full! It's the first time I've ever eaten so, so much~"

Today, she was truly happy.

She hadn't expected the secret of her large appetite to be known by the person she secretly admired.

And the person she admired didn't dislike her.

"Naruto and I have a shared secret, right?" Hyuga Hinata thought to herself.

At this moment, Naruto's expression became serious.

"After eating, you should rest well and take the opportunity to Extract Chakra, digesting and converting all the essence of the food."

"After digestion, we still have post-meal exercises to do."

"Post-meal exercises?"

Hyuga Hinata was confused but still followed his instructions.

With a serious expression, Hyuga Hinata sat in place, Extracting Chakra, and a bright blue Chakra flame rose around her body.

After all, she was from a famous family in Konoha Village; her foundation was quite good.

Naruto watched Hyuga Hinata as she trained.

Although Hinata was timid and lacked confidence, and as the eldest daughter of the Hyuga main family, her strength was even inferior to Hyuga Hanabi, who was five years younger than her, and she often failed missions, eventually even her father was disappointed in her, but that didn't mean she was clumsy or had poor aptitude.

Hyuga Hinata also had a strong and brave side.

It just needed someone to guide it out.

Naruto would be that person.

When the blazing, vibrant blue Chakra aura subsided, Hyuga Hinata opened her eyes.

"Stand up and attack me with all your might, don't hold back at all," Naruto said with a serious expression.

"Naruto…"

Hyuga Hinata timidly lowered her head.

Naruto said, "I know you like peace and dislike competition and fighting, but liking peace doesn't conflict with being strong."

"Quite the opposite, only by possessing enough power can you protect peace, and protect… the people you love."

"You wouldn't want the people you care about, the people you love, to be in danger and you be powerless to help, would you?"

Naruto raised his hand and clenched his fist, his eyes sparkling.

"This is the power that makes me stronger, my Ninja Way!"

"Naruto's… Ninja Way?!"

Hyuga Hinata's heart inexplicably trembled.

Ninja Way!

What is my Ninja Way?

Hyuga Hinata slowly raised her head, her eyes meeting Naruto's, and the timidity deep within her eyes was gradually replaced by courage and determination.

I want to become stronger, I want to catch up to Naruto, I want to walk alongside him!

"Naruto, be careful!"

Hyuga Hinata let out a soft cry, assumed the Gentle Fist stance, then suddenly accelerated, charging forward to close the distance and confront Naruto, then she brought her index and middle fingers together, igniting a bright blue Chakra aura, and thrust them towards Naruto's chest.

This was Gentle Fist: Palm Heel Strike!

Gentle Fist allows one to inject their own Chakra into the enemy's body, thereby damaging the enemy's internal Chakra pathways, the "Chakra Network System," and internal organs, while the Palm Heel Strike can block the flow of the opponent's Chakra.

Who knew that while Hyuga Hinata's speed wasn't slow, Naruto's reaction was even quicker.

With just a step back and a slight turn of his body, he easily dodged Hyuga Hinata's Palm Heel Strike.

Hyuga Hinata's strike missed, and she swung her hand back to grab Naruto beside her, but Naruto was a step ahead, grabbing her wrist and tripping her ankle with his leg; with just a slight pull, Hyuga Hinata would lose her balance.

Naruto's other hand was already gripping the handle of the kunai tucked into his waistband.

If Hyuga Hinata lost her balance and tripped, he would draw the kunai and stab…

That was close!

He almost treated his wife like a Goblin.
